Tummy tuck in Dr. Asmin Aquino

Dr. Asmin Aquino runs a private plastic surgery practice in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The clinic operates within the CECIP facility. It focuses on plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery, offering personalized care to local and international patients.

Safety Standards and Medical Leadership

Dr. Asmin Aquino leads the practice with a focus on patient safety and ethical surgery. He completed postgraduate training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He then pursued specialized training in Head and Neck Aesthetic Surgery at the Peck Center in New Jersey. Dr. Aquino also serves as a Professor of Anatomy.

Dr. Aquino recently served as president of the Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery (SODOCIPRE). He participates in scientific development and holds leadership roles in regional medical congresses. The clinic prioritizes transparent doctor-patient relationships built on honesty and confidentiality.

Aesthetic and Reconstructive Specialties

The clinic offers reconstructive surgery to restore body function and aesthetic surgery to improve appearance. Each patient receives a consultation and a detailed treatment plan. Specialized procedures cover several key areas:

• Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and repair abdominal muscles.
• Liposculpture and Vaser-assisted liposuction for body contouring.
• Breast surgery including reduction, recovery, and mastopexy (breast lift).
• Gynecomastia surgery for male breast tissue reduction.
• Otoplasty for ear shape and position correction.

Combined procedures are a key feature of the practice. For example, tummy tucks can be performed alongside gluteal lipo-injection. This allows patients to address multiple areas in a single surgical session.

Advanced Techniques and Technology

The clinic uses Vaser technology for body contouring. Vaser applies ultrasound energy to liquefy fat before removal, which protects surrounding tissues. This technology is often part of combined cases like the Vaser 3 Areas plus Tummy Tuck package.

For tummy tuck procedures, the clinic follows a specific recovery protocol. Patients typically go home the day after surgery with a surgical drain in place. The team removes the drain several days later to support proper healing. Preventive measures for deep vein thrombosis are also provided during recovery.

International Patient Services

The practice treats international patients through the Heva platform. This system manages administrative tasks and offers access to financing plans for surgical treatments. Patients also receive educational materials explaining procedure risks and recovery timelines.

Patient safety guidance is central to the international service. The clinic warns against unapproved substances and unregulated medical practices. By focusing on certified surgical care, the practice aims to prevent complications like infections and deformities often caused by quick-result injectables.
